The Song of the Foxglove Fairy

"Foxglove, Foxglove,
What do you see?"
The cool green woodland,
The fat velvet bee;
Hey, Mr bumble
I've got honey here for thee!

"Foxglove, Foxglove,
What do you see now?"
The soft summer moonlight
On bracken, grass, and bought;
And all the little fairies dancing
As only they know how ~

~Cicely Mary Barker from her book called
"Flower Fairies: The Little Pink Book".

Nice and clear shot of the colourful foxglioves, Lyn. Hard to believe that a plant that grows such beautiful flowers can be so toxic.

Wonderful close-up of these beautiful foxgloves. I like the framing, and the butterfly also.

Gorgeous photo. It brought back many memories when I was in England to see these lovely flowers growing wild at the side of country lanes.

You returned to your beautiful framing abilities on this I see LE. You are the best with your frames. The shot isn't shabby either. lol.
I liked the poem.

Very appealing photo of beautiful flowers. It's great you found (and chose) specimens in what appears to be exquisitely pristine condition too.
